Thanks for the replies. Looking straight on, and at sea level, the waterline would be horizontal; gravity as you say. But the perspective isn't straight on so I am coming to the conclusion that the shot isn't straight, but needs adjusting so none of the lines are horizontal, and with a small...

Sorry, I should have used 'almost horizontal'. I understand the convergence as it goes off into the distance, but when I look at this photo it just doesn't look right.

Not a question about the quality of the photograph etc., just a basic, is this photo straight? I can't figure out whether the sea should be horizontal or whether the lines in the rock should be horizontal. My instinct says that geologically, surely the lines in the rock should be horizontal...

Impatience. Trying to learn/do everything at once in the limited time I do have to use my camera. I want to know it all and know it all now, but end up learning very little because I don't focus (mentally) on mastering the basics. To use an analogy, I am like my dog when I take her for a walk...

It may seem a little presumptuous on my part to think that others just starting out in the world of photography have struggled to take in all the advice/guidance on the basics of exposure, but the following link provided me with a 'ooooh, I get it' moment. It may not have the same affect...

Thank you all. I am overwhelmed by the amount of advice on offer here. I was wary of a common forum feature of the noob being patronised and generally ignored, so thank you very much for the advice whilst making me feel welcome. Now I have buttered you up :) , I am wary of all the 'extras'...

Thanks again for all your advice so far. I suppose getting the cameras in my hands is going to be the deciding factor. Also, a big thank you Phil.......... ...........this was my biggest fear I think; buying a camera and then thinking to myself a few weeks down the line, 'b****r, why did...

Thank you for your comments so far - Truly appreciated. I am leaning towards the Canon 550D. The extra lens is appealing, (part of reason why I am starting to discount the D3200), the specs seem to tick every box that is included in all the guides etc, and the slightly unscientific fact that...

Hi, I am looking at taking the leap into the world of DSLR and will be looking at making my purchase in the next few weeks. Having read the many reviews/forums/guides etc, I have the feeling of 'is it really going to make much difference?' I want to be able to use the camera for a variety of...

Hi all, I have been browsing this site for a while and have finally taken the plunge to become a member. I am on the verge of purchasing my first DSLR, so please be patient, I may have one or several (daft) questions.
